Change the du Wi-Fi password and network name

Steps

1. Open the router admin page (usually 192.168.1.1 or the address on the sticker) and log in.
2. WLAN/Wi-Fi settings: set SSID, then the pre-shared key - WPA2-PSK (AES) minimum, WPA3 if all devices support it.
3. Change the router login password too; the printed default is public knowledge.
4. Save and reboot; reconnect phones and IoT items with the new key.
5. For smart-home gadgets that only speak 2.4 GHz, keep a separate 2.4 SSID so they survive future changes.

Porting a number to or from du (MNP)

Steps

1. Make sure the number is active, Emirates ID valid, and no outstanding dues on the current line.
2. Get a new SIM/eSIM from the operator you are joining and submit the port request there.
3. Do not cancel the old line yourself first - that kills the port.
4. Expect a short outage window during the swap; keep both phones charged and the account number to hand.
5. For fixed lines and home internet, porting is not the same process - book the new install before you disconnect.

eSIM on du: setup in five minutes

Steps

1. Check the handset supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked.
2. In the du app, choose line > switch to eSIM (or buy an eSIM plan for a visitor).
3. Scan the QR in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; label the line (Work/Home).
4. Keep the old line active for the first hour in case activation needs a retry, then delete the old profile.
5. For travel, add the roaming or destination data pack before you fly, not at the gate.

du internet slow: prove it before you change anything

Steps

1. Test with a cable into the router, or stand next to it, at 20:00-23:00 - peak load is when promises break.
2. Compare the number with the tier you pay for; 60-70% of a 500 Mbps fibre plan is normal over Wi-Fi, less than 20% is not.
3. Check the device list - one phone updating or a laptop backing up can eat the whole pipe.
4. Turn off "smart connect"/band steering if a gaming console or meeting laptop keeps landing on 2.4 GHz.
5. If the wired test fails, run a speed test on the du app so the result lands in their system, then open the ticket with that reference.

This section is written to answer: slow; speed; buffer; ping; latency; peak.
